Big Bang (thing)

One of the more current theories about the big bang suggests that it did not begin as a singularity containing all the mass of the universe, but as an incident in which a virtual particle pair (shall we call them Adam and Eve?) of sufficient mass and velocity to escape each other erupted into existence and in the wake of this extremely unlikely event ripped the universe into being.

That, in a hugely over-simplified nutshell, is where all this came from.

The Adam and Eve particles did not make up the entire mass of the universe, in fact, their total energy was only equal to more than 20 pounds, but they were the spark that lit the fire of inflation. Hawking radiation is responsible for the matter in our universe.
